A quilt is a quilt is a quilt. A quilt by any other name is just as warm/lovely/(other adjective of your choosing). Will quilt for food. To quilt or not to quilt, THAT is the question. Have needle, will quilt. A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and thou beside me, quilting in the wilderness...

Best Little Quilt Shop - Part 2

The pastel one (center) below is terribly sweet - I like the way they've combined similar prints in 3 colours (purple, orange, yellow) into one harmonious design. Then I saw the name: "Elizabeth Anne" - Hey! That's MY name! I also love the stained glass one on the right - and purchased a copy of the pattern for that one.

Here's "Elizabeth Anne" up a little closer:

And this one (below) has a great name: "White Chocolate". An imaginative use of related neutral prints.

I spotted the stained-glass crazy quilt (below) and snapped a hoto - but then noticed the one hanging below it with the zig-zag border:

Here's that zig-zag again - I'm still studying that border, trying to figure out how they did it.

And now a closeup of that crazy quilt:

You have to get up close to really appreciate it - each block has hand-stitching to embellish it - and the black lattice (which I think was velveteen... could be wrong, however) is embellished as well.
